a few of us having been rolling the dice with darwinex zero...... at first was unsure myself..... hem hawed around for a couple months..... several others dove right in...... eventually i climbed on board..... it's interesting..... darwin seems geared for your success because theirs depends on it..... there is a 15 day calibration period where their program learns how you trade...... the first monday following your 15 day completion, you are assigned a rating...... a rating above 75 is required for a allocation, seed capital, of 30k..... my 15 day calibration was complete this monday, so next monday i will be assigned a rating..... darwinex might be best fitted with the younger serious long term view crowd..... my lofty goal is to be allocated the first month.....h //--- //-----
the part of darwin that appeals to me most is it's risk engine...... there is a difference between the darwin and signal accounts...... the risk engine determines that difference..... the risk engine looks at your trades and then adjusts them as it feels fit..... so, for me, it is like a far better trader suggesting i increase or decrease my contract size...... the risk engine has other useful things to say...... provided we listen......h
my goal is to be in the top 10...... they can keep the money....... the overall improvement in my trading in general is enough for me...... i don't have to be better..... just need to try harder.....h //-------
Hi Hayseed, It's good to see you posting here. I believe you've talked previously about using your coded systems to trade with some of the Topstep-style prop companies. Would be interested to know how your experience with Darwinex compares to the others...
//---- hey slope trader..... kinda feel darwin will be better in a sense...... it's more like a real deal futures account...... we can hold past the new york close and on weekends..... and it has mq5.... as far as dollar amounts, apex will be unbeatable because the size accounts available and the ability to have 20.......... topstep is close behind...... apex, topstep, takeprofit trader and those will force me to close at end of day...... topstep 3pm and apex 4pm cst...... that really ties my hands..... other than that, actual trading on all is the same..... darwin will force me to be less of a cowboy and more of a professional trader.....h //------
That's all find and good...if they seed you with $1,000,000. which is what you are showing here. That's not happening. $22,000 on $1,000,000 is a 2.2% gain. So?
//---- 2.5 % now...... 25,000..... in 16 days...... i need to move that up to 3 or 4 thousand a day.... darwin will not seed you with 1,000,000..... however, funding is not something i'm short of.... darwin is a little confusing..... the darwin account i'm trading is 1 million..... once i qualify for an allocation, seed money, they will mimic my trades in it......that will be far less in size..... 30,000 or some amount.... you are paid out of it...... and that amount is low..... very low...... that's why i said they can keep the money..... you can receive 375,000 seed money, or maybe more, from darwin and later possibly millions in private investor capital..... all i really want is their risk engine to teach me better risk management..... meaning risk more, not less..... my excessive risk aversion is a weakness..... my max drawdown is proof of that..... a byproduct will be fine tuning entries and exits...... i'm using it as a teaching tool......h
I have heard good things about Darwinex and Darwinex zero. Darwinex zero only requires a small monthly subscription with unlimited upside.
i really like it ...... yes, costs about 1 es_u point..... think its just over 40 for me because there is a slight charge for futures..... likely less than a gym membership that many members seldom go to...... darwin is my trading gym..... it kinda pokes you in the right direction...... if darwin is made you, and you are made for it, in a month or two what you make will cover the cost..... it blows away the smoke..... you can see verified results of good traders and learn from them..... hopefully the risk engine, that's their term, will show me the error of my ways..... today was a perfect example...... my entrys were poorly timed and exits were in desperation..... sure, i made over 4000 with no losers...... but my entrys and exits were laughable....h //------
took a couple losses on the trend switch last night..... might make it back today..... might make it worse..... my initial darwin rating should be finalized this weekend..... monday is such a long long time ....h //------
